The real hell is the planning, and to amuch smaller degree, in getting the
lines (i.e. cutting guides) onto the paper. Actual cutting is probably the
easiest part.
Some of the things, like a butterfly, looked rather easy. I'd like to know
how they planned out the structural things (including the skeleton in the
enclosure), because most looked like they were not cut and then glued
(which is often easier than it looks), they looked like they were folded
from one unbroken cutout, and that takes some real *planning*. I'd be
interested in learning how the person (people?) approached those problems.
It might be doable in 3D - i.e. model something and then disassemble it,
then use another program (such as Pepekura, if the shapes don't have over
500 or so polygons) to turn it into a paper pattern, but if they did not
use a 3D program, I'd really like to learn how they approached the problem.

SOmetimes, I think it's the other way around. I've seen some excellent
work, and some real art, created by people who had the internal fire and
followed it, even in the face of active opposition. OTOH, a lot (but
certainly not all!) of what I've seen come out of grants has been IMO,
well, dreck...
